The God Complex

I am crying.

It was exactly what I feared but it didn't make it less painful that it wasn't a surprise.

I'm actually crying more than any previous Doctor Who episode before. They're my Team!TARDIS. What the hell am I supposed to do now? I know it's the nature of this show and Amy and Rory aren't completely out of the picture, but... goddamn, I'm sad. All that feeling of dread in my chest... and then to have my suspicions confirmed. I haven't been in a situation like this in ages.

Aside from the those last few minutes, I thought it was a brilliant episode. I loved everything about it, the monster, the weird hotel, Rita, the guest star Mole, the Amy and Eleven moment which broke down their relationship so painfully well... Well, us Amy/11 shippers can't complain about the lack of shippy screen time, we certianly got it this time around. What kills me even more is that I can't be angry at Eleven. He's doing what was right. And gave them the right send-off. I'd rather be angry.

And goddamnit, I was right about those pap photos where my icon came from.

Lemme go lay on my bed and put on underwear music and remember the better times.

Where's the mood that says "heartbroken"?

Yeah, it would be kind of weird, but at the same time, they can sort of develop a deeper connection over how much they miss her. River, obviously, because she's away from her mother, and the Doctor, because she was the first companion to see him and fully know him and understand him in his new regeneration, and because he truly loved her and wanted to see her safe and happy.

AGREED SO MUCH. I'm definitely picking up my Moulin Rouge/Doctor Who fic that I started months ago (seriously. fuck RL and work and ugh. I need to write fic so badly it hurts.) But. It still. I can't. My heart. It hurts. She has to come back. This can't be the definite end of them.

We are writers. We are entitled to make up our own fantastical new words and phrases. For example: spacey wacey technical terms :D

I'm not sure if River as a full time companion could work from a practical stand point-- Alex Kingston lives in CA and doesn't want to move her daughter from her school (at least, that's the latest I heard). The only reason she's done the episodes so far is because they've filmed during her daughter's school breaks (or in the States). Of course, money does talk, so who knows...

MOULIN ROUGE/DOCTOR WHO FIC?!?!?!?! I MUST READ THIS. That is one of my all-time favorite movies. MY CRIES.

I'm still mourning this end of an era. I know she comes back; I'm pretty sure I heard something about Amy and Rory being there for the last episode and read that Karen Gillan was seen on set for the Christmas special. But we won't get the constant Ponds as we are so used to... My heart is heavy. I'm gonna be blue this whole week. =/

Oh, really? I had no idea, but that's really good of her to keep her daughter in the school she likes. It would be wonderful if she became a full-time companion, though. It'd seal my second-place ship.

YES. YES I AM. It's something I've been thinking about writing for the past year but I never got around to it and never figured out a proper storyline (until, that is, a month ago) but now that I work I almost never have time to write fic and it makes me really sad. But I promise, I'll have it written soon because I'm actually really excited to finish and post it. But right now, I'm in the process of writing my boyfriend a short story for our two-year anniversary, and that's my top priority.

I know, I know. I don't even know what to do with my feelings so instead of writing fic I just caught up on the Inbetweeners because I needed mindless television to distract me. At least she'll be back. We'll still see her. I just can't imagine Eleven with anyone else. Unless he gets another Donna, in which case, that would be lovely.

Who is your second-place ship at the moment? ...I'm also assuming your first-place ship is Amy/11, right? That hasn't changed? hahaha

I'll keep my eyes peeled for your fic! I have one brewing in my head, just gotta figure how I'm going to do it. And congrats on two years! That's such a sweet idea of a present. I'm the loser that did a photo album each year and gives the main squeeze new pages to put in every anniversary. xP Barf, I know.

Yeah, I've been attempting to distract myself with snuggles and reading Sandman by Neil Gaiman. It's very, very good. And YES for another Donna!! Though I can already hear fandom now, "Wah, she's just another Donna. Give us someone new."

Well, in Doctor Who my second-place ship is/would be River/Eleven, which is why if River became a full-time companion, it'd completely seal the deal for me, because it would be a chance to finally see how they interact with each other over a longer period of time than just a two-parter episode. My first-place DW ship is obviously Eleven/Amy. But if we're talking Torchwood, for example, I ship Jack/Ianto like FedEx. It's really a battle of Eleven/Amy and Jack/Ianto for my first-place ship of all the fandoms, because both relationships are so tragic and beautiful.

Yay! I'll (hopefully) write it soon. Thank you dear! ^_^ That's adorable, though! I would totally do that (and, in fact, I have) for a present.

Anything by Neil Gaiman is wonderful. The End.

True. But there will always be people who complain. After all, there are people out there who don't like Amy. And those are very, very sad people.

River/Doctor really solidified for me during TIA/DotM. I just loved their banter and back!sex and then the implication River gave of them having many many more kisses.

Uh, I just finished my second fic about Amy and the Doctor saying goodbye. Apparently my muse is back.

People who don't like Amy just boggle me. I mean... I can't even get into this discussion, I only get angry. hahahaha

AGREED. They were wonderful in those episodes.

Ohh okay! I'll read that tonight ^_^

I know, right? I just. I can't even. They just need to stop everything they're doing and re-think their life choices.
